The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

First-person point of view, the camera is the character's eyes and their own hands are visible in frame. In a dim storage room, a hand pulls open the bottom drawer and digs out a stack of old photos and a slip of paper with a phone number on it. The hand stops and the view dips slightly; off screen a woman asks, “Did you find it?” The reply trembles a little: “I found it.” 5 seconds, eye height like everyday standing and crouching, bobbing slightly with the movements.

Common pitfalls

It turns into a third-person follow shot.
A third hand or extra limbs appear.
The gaze direction contradicts the body's orientation.

Parameter tips
